Upcoming Events

September

ASU Launch Days are signature campus outreach events held each semester to create awareness of entrepreneurship programs, resources and opportunities available at ASU. Launch Days encourage students from all majors to live and think entrepreneurially.

On Launch Day, you can expect to learn more about entrepreneurship and innovation opportunities during class visits, and will have the chance to connect directly with E+I team members and student entrepreneurs to learn more and receive free giveaway items. This fall, we will be visiting campuses weekly each Thursday. Look for us on campus and stop by for a free "Just Start" notebook and t-shirt.

What's Open Pitch? Think of it as open mic night meets Shark Tank. Pitch your idea, receive feedback and network with other ASU entrepreneurs. Pitching at Open Pitch provides an amazing opportunity to improve your storytelling and could even provide a connection that helps you grow your idea into a venture. Pitch your idea or cheer on your friends at Open Pitch.

RSVP now to reserve your spot to pitch at any of the campus locations.

Social entrepreneurs see a better future for our communities and know that creating a solution with a scalable, sustainable model is the best way to achieve that future. They may build non-profit organizations or they may pursue a for-profit venture to achieve their goals. A social entrepreneur seeks to understand the needs of a community (local or global) and builds solutions to best fit those needs. Are you a social entrepreneur?
